Medical Xpress / 'Toxic' molecule may play vital role in gene regulation and development
A molecule once thought to be a harmful metabolic byproduct may play a crucial role in early development and gene regulation, according to a new study published in Nature that challenges decades of biochemical assumptions. ...
Phys.org / Chang'e-5 regolith studies reveal nanoscale space-weathering processes
On the moon, the lack of atmosphere and accompanying features such as biological activity, oxygen-rich air, flowing water and rain, wind, and most erosion allows the lunar regolith to preserve a long-term record of surface ...
Phys.org / Mitochondria reveal built-in speed control for protein production
Researchers at the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) and the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Multidisciplinary Sciences have elucidated how the production of certain proteins and their insertion into the inner membrane ...
Medical Xpress / Young adults are more perfectionistic than ever before, study finds
College students feel more pressure to be perfect than they did a generation ago, finds research published in Psychological Bulletin. That increase in perfectionism may be tied to social and economic factors such as rising ...
Medical Xpress / Immune 'energy signature' linked to tuberculosis may explain why some individuals control infection
Researchers at Trinity College Dublin have identified key differences in how immune cells generate and use energy, a process known as cellular metabolism, in people with latent versus active tuberculosis (TB). The findings ...
Tech Xplore / AI listens to insect body signals to guide cyborg cockroaches
Cyborg insects have long been studied as bio-hybrid systems that combine living organisms with small electronic devices. These systems may one day support tasks such as disaster search and rescue, environmental monitoring, ...
Medical Xpress / Hidden brain circuit could explain how movement errors sharpen new skills
While humans are acquiring new skills that entail performing coordinated movements, such as walking, playing an instrument or skateboarding, their brains are known to continuously detect mistakes and correct movements over ...
Phys.org / Cells trap heat in ways standard fluid physics cannot explain, study finds
Living cells cool much slower than our current understanding of heat conduction can explain, according to new research from the University of Tokyo. Researchers have used two techniques—high-speed temperature mapping and ...
Tech Xplore / Bluesky accounts hijacked in pro-Russia propaganda campaign
A Russian influence campaign hijacked hundreds of Bluesky accounts—many belonging to influential Americans—to spread propaganda, researchers said, in a striking disinformation tactic that weaponized authentic identities rather ...
Tech Xplore / MetaBeeAI could speed systematic reviews of nearly 1,000 papers with human oversight
Queen Mary University researchers have developed a new AI-powered framework, MetaBeeAI, designed to help scientists review and analyze vast amounts of literature faster, more transparently, and with greater human oversight.
Medical Xpress / Do lying children grow up to be criminals? Mostly not, but persistent patterns may signal later risk
Most childhood lying does not lead to serious problems in adulthood, and only certain kinds of lying behavior are associated with later psychological or legal issues, a new study has found.
